The Combo was a musical machine, build in 11 parts: One control-unit and ten instruments. The control-unit was "old-time electric" with a battery of relais and was made after the famous Amsterdam organ-grinder tradition. The COMBO was performed only once. From 19-26 of july 1985 there was a concert every day in the MOZES & AARONKERK in Amsterdam. Besides a fragment on the local radio that was all. After a year or two it was destroyed because of lack of room. Topics: music machine, avantgarde, musique concrete, mechanical, experimental, combo
